OKLAHOMA CITY -- KOCO-TV (Channel 5) today announced that KOCO-TV may no longer be carried on Cox Communications cable systems effective September 1, 2011, if the parties are unable to conclude retransmission consent negotiations currently underway. The channels impacted are Channel 8, Channel 705, and ThisTV Channel 222.
Cable operators are prohibited by law from carrying broadcasters’ signals without their consent. The removal of KOCO’s signal from the Cox Communications system will only result if negotiations between representatives of Hearst Television Inc., KOCO’s parent company, and Cox Communications are unsuccessful in reaching a conclusion before September 1, 2011.
“We believe that we and Cox Communications can conclude our negotiations before September 1st, so as not to deprive any of our respective viewers and customers of our programming,” said Brent Hensley President/GM. “However, we want to advise our viewers and customers that the possibility of non-renewal of our current agreement exists. We will continue to keep our valued viewers informed of developments, on our air and our website, www.KOCO.com.”
